Adding cairo support to print/poppler
I would like to add cairo support to the poppler packages. The goal is to
have a poppler-cairo-utils package that (indirectly, see below) depends on
both poppler and cairo and provides pdftocairo (which is missing atm).
At present, print/poppler disables poppler's cairo support. If you enable it,
you need cairo at build time (BUUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD.cairo=build; include
cairo's bl3). However, the (stage-)installed files don't change, only a
poppler-cairo.pc (currently provided by print/poppler-glib) is added.
Some Makefile.am says "noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libpoppler-cairo.la".
So what's the best way to go (apart from adding a poppler-cairo-utils package)?
-- Add the build dependency to print/poppler, let it install poppler-cairo.pc
and remove it from print/poppler-glib's PLIST?
-- Add a poppler-cairo package (with a full dependency on cairo) that only
installs poppler-cairo.pc (removing it from print/poppler-glib)?
-- Leave it as is and let the new poppler-cairo-utils package depend on
poppler and cairo directly?
Any better name than poppler-cairo-utils? Just pdftocairo?
